B Correct answer
Explanation

(2) is grammatically the most correct option. (1) is incorrect because the pronoun 'their' is showing possession over 'audience' which is incorrect. (3) is incorrect because of use of an objective pronoun (them) to refer to a noun (troop). (4) and (5) are incorrect because 'these/those' are used to refer to plural nouns.
